“Technology is increasingly intertwined in our daily lives,” said Rep. Hansen. “I’m excited to serve on a committee that will look at ways government can incorporate technology to streamline how we serve the citizens and businesses of Minnesota.”

The select committee will examine how Minnesotans interact with government and harness innovation to respond to the needs of the public, rather than catering to the wants of government systems. It will seek ways to not only make government more effective for Minnesotans, but to deliver cost-savings and improve efficiency.
